  \mainpage Qwt - Qt Widgets for Technical Applications

The Qwt library contains GUI Components and utility classes which are primarily
useful for programs with a technical background. Beside a 2D plot widget
it provides scales, sliders, dials, compasses, thermometers, wheels and knobs 
to control or display values, arrays, or ranges of type double.

  \section installonmainpage Installation
 
  Have a look at the qwt.pro project file. It is prepared for building
  dynamic libraries in Win32 and Unix/X11 environments. 
  If you don't know what to do with it, read the file \ref qwtinstall and/or 
  Trolltechs 
  <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/developer/documentation/index.html">qmake</a> documentation. Once you have build the library you have to install 
  all files from the lib, include and doc directories.
